The jewelry of Art Smith. I was chatting with my friend Cheryl, a fashion and style consultant who collects perfume bottles, and she asked me to keep an eye out for the jewelry of Art Smith at auction.
I don’t buy or wear much jewelry, so this name was unfamiliar to me. Within a week, a confluence of events stamped the name Art Smith in my brain. Googling him, I learned that the Brooklyn Museum was holding an exhibit of his work called “From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith.” Next, I was at an auction later that same week when the auctioneer announced that Smith’s jewelry would be available at their special sale next month.
